The city council meets at o'clock
this afternoon.
A large Texas and Pacific excursion
will arrive this morning by the Sunset
route.
The Electric railroad company are now
laying their track on Wall street, near
Fifth, and in few days will have it fin.
ished to Los Angeles street.
A large amount of pine lumber is
now arriving in Pasadena from the
Mississippi valley. Owing to the recent
advance in ocean freights and the ad-
vance in the price Of lumber at the saw
mills, the shipment of lumber from the
east pays far profit.
Mrs. Norton, whose 'Song Recitals'
have such an artistic reputation in San
Francisco, has been strongly urged by
her friends and many music-lovers in
Los Angeles to give one or more recitals
during her stay here. She has expressed
willingness to accede to this request il
a subscription list can be filed which
will warrant the venture. Due notice
of this list will appear in these columns
The alarm of fire yesterday morning
was caused by the burning of the pavil
lion at Washington Gardens. The cause
of the fire is unknown. AT the time Of
the fire the building was used as lodg
ipg-house, and contained considerable

A Season of Opera,

The Pike opera company, which opens
at the Grand opera. house on Monday
evening, the 2lst inst, has been greatly
augmented and improved since its ap.
pearance here last September. The COM
pany now embraces number of artists
who have attained almost . national
reputation. and who, during the recent
engagement of the company in San Fran.
cisco and its tour through the northwest,
have scored the same successes that char
acterized them in the east. Miss JEANNE
Winston's name has become almost O
household word. De Lange is with
out doubt unrivaled in this coun.
try, except by Francis Wilson,
as light opera comedian. Miss
Manfred and Miss Tellula Evans, Mr..
West, Mr.. Clark and Mr.. Pyke himself
go to make up an operatic combination
rarely equalled on the western circuit.
The company appear here fresh from a
most successful tour through Oregon,
British Columbia, Montana and the
northwest, where they have appeared
to the largest houses ever known on that
circuit. They present an entirely new
repertoire of operas, comprising The
Queens Lace Handkerchief, Prince
Mettusalem, Boccaccio, The Oath OF
Lore, Beggar Student. Nine. Favart,
Perichole, etc. With company OF
forty people, full chorus and orchestra,
and in view of the success attained here
by the same company in an incomplete
and embryo form last September, the
Pyke organization as it now exists
should command hearty welcome and
a liberal patronage.

BASEBALL.
The Los Angeles Club Defeated
by the Black Diamonds.

Dy the BLACK Diamends.
The match game between the Black
Diamonds and the Los Angeles clubs
was not very exciting affair. AT the
opening of the game the fielding as
well, as the battery of the Black Dia.
monds was poor, and the Los Angeles
club managed to score the majority of
their runs before their opponents had
warmed up to work. This state of af.
fairs led the spectators to believe that
the Los Angeles club would walk away
with the victory without much trouble,
but those who hoped for such an out.
come were doomed to disappointment
Up to the beginning of the sixth inning
the score stood 7 to 3, in favor OF the
Los Angeles club, but in the first half
of that inning the Black Diamonds
scored 7, mainly by errors on the part of
the Los Angeles club, and partly by
batting balls where errors were likely
to occur. From that time throughout the
game the playing was more careful on
both sides, and the Black Diamonds gave
promise Of becoming excellent CLUB as
soon as they shall have ,practiced more
together. The game was played under
the rules of 1886, and there were no
brilliant plays by either side. The score
at the close was as follows:

visions 1t Passes Off Quietly.
CHICAGO, March l3.-Extreme quiet
marked the burial OF Mrs Neebe to-day.
Fully forty thousand people shivered
three hours in the bleak winds, waiting
for the obseouies of the noted anarchists
wife to commence, and were only re.
warded by a sight of the procession,
that. except in size, differed only in
few minor details from any ordinary
funeral. Last evening the master of the
ceremonies estimated that 90, 900 sympa.
thizers would be in line. Whether the
absence of the anarchist widower damped
the enthusiasm, or the fact that the po-
lice were taking extraordinary precau
tions to quell any disorder, had like
effect, the demonstration fell far short OF
its promoters predictions. Including
persons in III carriages and buggies,
there were probably 5000 souls in the
cortege. The funeral ceremonies were
held in Miller's hall, which, less than
twelve hours before, had been the scene
of masquerade ball. Every vestige
OF the carnival trappings had, now
ever, been carefully removed, and
here and there were placarded
printed appeals for contributions to the
anarchist defense fund. The stage and
gallery-railing were tastefully draped in
black and white, and ranged before the
footlights and around the coffin were
floral emblems and potted plants in pro-
fusion. Nothing symbolical of religion
was visible. After brief orations by
George Schilliug and Paul Groppkan.
the corpse was ready for the hearse.
Neither Captain Black nor Mrs. Parsons
were present. DR.. Schmidt, a socialistic
orator, who has been instrumental in
rasipg large part of the anarchist de.
tense fund, sent letter as substitute
for an address, which he was expected to
deliver. The crowd carried number of
red flags, but they were carefully furled
and covered with black drapery, and but
one band was in attendance.
